7/8/2013 - I joined a health club! (Again!)

So, a couple of days ago, I got a welcome message from the umpteenth health club that one of me joined.  I replied back with my own special message.  Got one of the best responses ever, even if the grammar is terrible at some points:

Mr. Brennan,

I received your email below and am quite disturbed by your inappropriate comment. The email sent to you is one that each new member receives as a welcome to the club. It allows you the opportunity to meet with me if you have questions or concerns surrounding your membership. Your response is not only inappropriate but offensive. I take pride in providing a professional experience for every member each time they walk into our building. I expect the same in return of our members. If you are unable of communicating in such a manner, then perhaps acac is not the right environment for you, and we can part ways immediately.

I will await a response from you and hope that we will not have any issues in the future.

Regards,

Beth Carotenuto

General Manager

5/11/2013 - An important rule.

In fact, I can say that this might be the most important rule of all.  When applying for a job, use your own e-mail address, unless you want funky correspondence coming back from someone else to the people you applied with for employment.

BTW - alot is not a proper word, it is a lot.

My name is Michael I moved over to Sydney from Ireland two weeks ago. I have alot of experience in carpentry but am very keen to move into the cabinetry side of things as I really enjoy this type of work.
I know in your add that you are looking for someone skilled in cabinetry but if any jobs should arise within your factory i would be very appreciative of the opportunity.

I am a very hard worker, reliable and honest. I am eager to learn and advance my skill set and like new challenges.

I would be appreciative of the opportunity of an interview or discussion and look forward to hearing your response

5/10/2013 - Sausage Party 2013!

I don't know any Walter Rothfus, and I don't go to Sausage Festivals.

Hi All,                      LIKE ME on FACEBOOK

Oh what a Blissful week-end retreat on Canoe Island I had. 

We ended the Sunday morning service with these words "The Four Things That Matter Most"...that we can say to our families and friends....."Please Forgive Me"...."I Forgive You"...."Thank You"...."I Love YOU".

The theme for the Meditation was for "Self Love".... We chanted "Hallelujah" for a good part of the service. The chant is a Kriah for self hypnosis to hypnotize us into Self Love. Unconditional Self Love. Where there is self love  there is no fear and where there is no fear there is no anger. Hypnotize yourself into that relationship with yourself. 

Self Love Has No Conditions -- Is Right Now.  Nameste!

Our focus time was experiencing a series of mini workshops the delt with Men's issues, but were general in the essence of becoming better Men, Fathers, and Lovers. My presentation was about how to deal with anger....from the Abraham-Hicks material that I have been learning and facilitating for over a year now. It was well received.

We had plenty of time to chit chat, swim in the pool, sit in the sunshine, walk around the island, play with the dogs, eat wonderful prepared French meals, do some sailing on a 39' sailboat, kayaking, testing our archery skills, listen to our tour director that had a vast knowledge of the island -- animals/plants, the history of the camp called French Camp, and the surrounding San Juan islands.  Awesome week end. 

OH YES, the last thing we did Saturday night was to create a poem that expressed our individual experiences....it was really FUN!!!

I believe it will be read at the Mother's Day Service this Sunday.

I Wish you all could have been with me.

Here for your viewing pleasure are the topmost Men's Retreat images from photographers Jeffry Myers, Tom Palmersheim and Gordon Lee.

1/31/2013 - Turbo Taxing!

I'm still getting e-mail for Michael Brennan in Florida's Turbo Tax account.  Tried to kill it last year with no luck.  Can still access all his info, SSN, address, phone number.  He paints houses for a living.

He hasn't file yet for this year, at least not on this account.

1/31/2013 - On the road again...

Looks like I'm on the move!  I also got a survey about my experience with them, needless to say, they didn't do very well.

 

1/28/2013 - Bank Of America Wants to know what I think!

This has been running on for years, someone opened a Bank Of America Credit Card account and used my e-mail address.  Bank Of America can't/won't remove me.  So I get these surveys perodically.  They do very poorly.

I called them the next day, told them about how I answer their surveys, I got passed way up the line this time, with an assurance they would remove me from their systems.  We'll see.  My two answers to their essay questions are below.

Why do you rate your overall experience a 1 Not at all satisfied?
(Please be as specific as possible. You can enter a maximum of 1000 characters.)

I have rated my overall experience as a 1 because a digital rectal exam from a person with freakishly large fingers would be more pleasant than dealing with Bank of America.  I'd rather be mouth raped by an elephant than talk to your customer service department.  As a whole, your customer service department is more useless than a tennis racket without strings.  I'm relatively certain most of the people I spoke to on the phone have parents who were cousins.  In other words, and I'm dumbing it down for you based on the people I've had experience with in your organization, no one working at Bank Of America could count their genitalia and get the same number twice.

You provided lower ratings for: Overall quality of service, Knowledge of Bank of America’s products and services, Asking questions to ensure they understand your reason for call, Demonstrating a willingness to resolve your question or concern, Treating you professionally. Thinking only of the last representative you spoke with, could you provide any feedback specific to that representative that can be used for coaching purposes?

I asked for CD rates and the girl told me she gets all her music from MP3s now.  She was also chewing gum and kept "axing" me things.  Don't axe me.
